  • Title: Faucial bonorrhoea.
    Author: Newnham WA, Walker WR, Fogarty P.
    Journal: Med J Aust; 1975 Sep 20; 2(12):470-2. PubMed ID: 127924.
    Abstract:
    Nine hundred patients (250 females and 650 males) attending the Clinic for the Treatment of Venereal Diseases had throat swabs taken as a routine; 1-1% (1-6% of females and 0-92% of males) were found to have faucial gonorrhoea. This figure appears to be similar to that found by Odegaard and Gunderson (1973) in Norway. The treatment regime used in the clinic in Perth appeared to be satisfactory, as there were no failures. It is stressed that all patients suspected of suffering from venereal disease should have their throats swabbed as a routine. Information as to whether or not oral sex is practised should be obtained.
